Snowden Lane Partners has marked the opening of its 15th office across the U.S. with a second location in Florida.
The firm, which recently achieved a milestone of $1 billion in recruited assets added in 2023, welcomed Ron Zuckerman and John Paul (“JP”) McManus, who formed the Zuckerman McManus Wealth Advisory Group based in Roca Baton. Zuckerman will serve as partner and managing director, while McManus has joined as vice president and private wealth advisor.
The duo was previously with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., located in South Florida, and have almost 40 years of combined industry experience.
“As we continue our exciting growth as a firm, it remains integral that we recruit advisors who share our focus on providing personalized client service and superior investment capabilities,” said Rob Mooney, managing partner and CEO of Snowden Lane Partners. “Ron and JP fit neatly into that mold, and their experience makes them perfect candidates to spearhead our 15th office nationwide. We’re grateful that the advisor community continues to view Snowden Lane as an attractive destination, and we’re looking forward to continuing our firmwide momentum in 2024.”
Zuckerman and McManus join the firm with a client base of high-net-worth families, entrepreneurs, and executives at both public and private companies, including international clients.
“It’s exciting to be joining Snowden Lane for multiple reasons, but chief among them is the knowledge that we’re joining a top-quality firm whose values align with our own,” Zuckerman said. “While this represents the next step in our careers, JP and I are looking forward to continuing to ensure our clients have the high-quality, specialized solutions they deserve. We’re humbled to have the opportunity to lead the firm’s expansion in Florida and are thrilled to officially become members of Snowden Lane’s team.”
The new regional leader brings nearly 25 years of experience as the firm seeks to tap a complex and evolving market.
The latest updates to its recordkeeping platform, including a solution originally developed for one large 20,000-advisor client, take aim at the small to medium-sized business space.
